Key Findings: A Starting Point The Key Findings report provides an entry point for reviewing results from your administration of the 2014 Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE ). The report provides college-specific data in an easy-to-share format including benchmark comparisons between the college, top-performing colleges, and the CCSSE cohort. It also highlights aspects of highest and lowest student engagement at the college, as well as results from five of the CCSSE special-focus items on promising educational practices. Select faculty survey data are also highlighted.

Promising Practices for Student Success In each annual administration, CCSSE has included special-focus items to allow participating colleges and national researchers to delve more deeply into areas of student experience and institutional performance of great interest to the field. The 2014 special-focus items are part of an ongoing national research project focused on community college students’ participation in a defined collection of promising practices for which there is emerging evidence of effectiveness in strengthening student learning, persistence, and attainment. This work will link data from the CCSSE special-focus items; related items on the faculty survey (CCFSSE ), which explore the extent of faculty members’ use of the identified promising practices in their teaching; and institutional data collected from the Community College Institutional Survey (CCIS) that address questions about how these promising practices are implemented across varied institutions. This data collection will provide empirical confirmation of promising educational practices in community colleges, quantification of the extent to which those practices are part of the current experience of our students, and information about whether participation in these types of practices varies across subgroups of students. Ongoing data analysis will provide new evidence of how student participation in these practices is related to overall student engagement, academic progress, and college completion.

Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice The CCSSE benchmarks are groups of conceptually related survey items that address key areas of student engagement. The five benchmarks denote areas that educational research has shown to be important to students’ college experiences and educational outcomes. Therefore, they provide colleges with a useful starting point for looking at institutional results and allow colleges to gauge and monitor their performance in areas that are central to their work. In addition, participating colleges have the opportunity to make appropriate and useful comparisons between their performance and that of groups of other colleges.

CCSSE Benchmarks ★ Active and Collaborative Learning Students learn more when they are actively involved in their education and have opportunities to think about and apply what they are learning in different settings. Through collaborating with others to solve problems or master challenging content, students develop valuable skills that prepare them to deal with real-life situations and problems.

★ Student Effort Students’ own behaviors contribute significantly to their learning and the likelihood that they will successfully attain their educational goals.

Performing as well as the national average or a peer-group average may be a reasonable initial aspiration, but it is important to recognize that these averages are sometimes unacceptably low. Aspiring to match and then exceed highperformance targets is the stronger strategy.

★ Academic Challenge

Community colleges can differ dramatically on such factors as size, location, resources, enrollment patterns, and student characteristics. It is important to take these differences into account when interpreting benchmark scores—especially when making institutional comparisons. The Center for Community College Student Engagement has adopted the policy “Responsible Uses of CCSSE and SENSE Data,” available at www.cccse.org.

★ Student-Faculty Interaction

CCSSE uses a three-year cohort of participating colleges in all core survey analyses. The current cohort is referred to as the 2014 CCSSE Cohort (2012-2014) throughout all reports.

Challenging intellectual and creative work is central to student learning and collegiate quality. These survey items address the nature and amount of assigned academic work, the complexity of cognitive tasks presented to students, and the rigor of examinations used to evaluate student performance.

In general, the more contact students have with their teachers, the more likely they are to learn effectively and to persist toward achievement of their educational goals. Through such interactions, faculty members become role models, mentors, and guides for continuous, lifelong learning.

★ Support for Learners Students perform better and are more satisfied at colleges that provide important support services, cultivate positive relationships among groups on campus, and demonstrate commitment to their success.

2014 Top-Performing Colleges*

*Top-Performing colleges are those that scored in the top 10 percent of the cohort by benchmark.

Notes: Benchmark scores are standardized to have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 25 across all respondents. For further information about how benchmarks are computed, please visit www.cccse.org.

Aspects of Highest Student Engagement Benchmark scores provide a manageable starting point for reviewing and understanding CCSSE data. One way to dig more deeply into the benchmark scores is to analyze those items that contribute to the overall benchmark score. This section features the five items across all benchmarks (excluding those for which means are not calculated) on which the college scored highest and the five items on which the college scored lowest relative to the 2014 CCSSE Cohort. The items highlighted on pages 4 and 5 reflect the largest differences in mean scores between the institution and the the 2014 CCSSE Cohort. While examining these data, keep in mind that the selected items may not be those that are most closely aligned with the college’s goals; thus, it is important to review all institutional reports on the CCSSE online reporting system at www.cccse.org. Figure 3 displays the aggregated frequencies for the items on which the college performed most favorably relative to the 2014 CCSSE Cohort. For instance, 68.7% of Kauai Community College students, compared with 49.8% of other students in the cohort, responded often or very often on item 4f. It is important to note that some colleges’ highest scores might be lower than the cohort mean. Aggregated Percentage

For instance, 21.4% of Kauai Community College students, compared with 34.3% of other students in the cohort, responded never on item 4e. It is important to note that some colleges’ lowest scores might be higher than the cohort mean.

2014 CCSSE Special-Focus Items The Center adds special-focus items to CCSSE each year to augment the core survey, helping participating colleges and the field at large' to further explore fundamental areas of student engagement. The 2014 special-focus items continue to elicit new information about students’ experiences associated with promising educational practices such as early registration, orientation, freshman seminars, organized learning communities, and student success courses. Frequency results from the first five promising practices items for your college and the CCSSE promising practices respondents are displayed across pages 6 and 7.

CCFSSE The Community College Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (CCFSSE) results displayed below reveal the proportion of full- and part-time faculty members that are involved in teaching or facilitating organized 'learning communities' (two or more courses that a group of students take together), structured experiences for new students (sometimes called a 'freshman seminar' or 'first-year experience'), and student success courses (such as a student development, extended orientation, study skills, student life skills, or college success courses). Additionally, these results can be viewed alongside the corresponding CCSSE special-focus item results featured on page 7 to reveal a more complete picture of how students and faculty are participating in the same promising practices. For colleges that did not administer CCFSSE, cohort respondent data are provided. Figure 10: During the current academic year at this college, have you been involved in teaching or facilitating a(n)
